abstract = {Amendments to the Fair Work Act now allow workers in Australia a right to disconnect. The implementation of this right precipitated a polarised public debate that was not consistently evidence-based, encompassing the often-contradictory perspectives of unions, employers, business lobbies and politicians. This study offers a more nuanced and evidence-based understanding of the right to disconnect, its benefits and challenges and the possible impact on Australian employment practices and relations. It provides an international comparative analysis; it explores the literature on related topics such as work-life balance, occupational stress, management practices and productivity; and it proposes a model of the consequences of technology-enabled flexible work. The comparative analysis and literature review are supplemented with themes identified in Australian media coverage through a Leximancer analysis. The findings discuss the advantages and limitations of diverse top-down legislative or self-regulatory pathways experienced overseas by early adopters. While the right to disconnect can improve work-life balance, health and well-being and productivity, its implementation requires careful consideration of industry-specific contexts, clear policies and cultural shifts in workplaces to mitigate the risks associated with hyperconnectivity. These insights are useful for Australia as it enters the implementation phase of the right to disconnect.},

abstract = {Purpose
Although 3D food printing is expected to enable the creation of visually appealing pureed food for people with disability and dysphagia, little is known about the user experience in engaging with 3D food printing or the feasibility of use with populations who need texture-modified foods. The aim of this study was to explore the feasibility and usability of using domestic-scale 3D food printer as an assistive technology to print pureed food into attractive food shapes for people with dysphagia.
Materials and Methods
In total, 16 participants engaged in the unfamiliar, novel process of using a domestic-scale 3D food printer (choosing, printing, tasting), designed for printing pureed food, and discussed their impressions in focus group or individual interviews.
Results and Conclusions
Overall, results demonstrated that informed experts who were novice users perceived the 3D food printing process to be fun but time consuming, and that 3D food printers might not yet be suitable for people with dysphagia or their supporters. Slow response time, lack of user feedback, scant detail on the appropriate recipes for the pureed food to create a successful print, and small font on the user panel interface were perceived as barriers to accessibility for people with disability and older people. Participants expected more interactive elements and feedback from the device, particularly in relation to resolving printer or user errors. This study will inform future usability trials and food safety research into 3D printed foods for people with disability and dysphagia.
IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION
3D food printers potentially have a role as an assistive technology in the preparation of texture-modified foods for people with disability and dysphagia.
To increase feasibility, 3D food printers should be co-designed with people with disability and their supporters and health professionals working in the field of dysphagia and rehabilitation.
Experts struggled to be able to print 3D pureed shapes owing to relatively low usability of the 3D food printer tested with problems using the interface and resolving problems in the print.
3D food printing is a fun and novel activity and may help to engage people with disability and dysphagia in making choices around the shape of the food to be printed.},

abstract = {The use of social media offers tremendous innovation potential. Yet, while cur-rent research emphasizes success stories, little is known about how firms canleverage the full potential of their social media use for open innovation. In thispaper, the authors address this gap by conducting a configurational analysis todevelop an integrative taxonomy of social media-enabled strategies for openinnovation. This analysis stems from the integration of internal and externalvariables such as social media communication activities, organizational inno-vation seekers, potential innovation providers, the stages of the open innova-tion process, and their relationship with different performance outcomes andbarriers to social media adoption for open innovation. Through an empiricalstudy of 337 firms based in eight countries, four clusters have been identifiedthat are characterized as distinct strategies:?marketing semi-open innovators,??cross-department semi-open innovators,??cross-department full processsemi-open innovators?and?broad adopters open innovators.?The findingsreveal the trade-offs associated with different strategies for implementingsocial media for open innovation and provide insights of the use of these strat-egies. By doing so, they suggest a more nuanced approach that contrasts withthe traditionally positive (or even rosy) depiction of the effects of social mediaon open innovation. Accordingly, managers are encouraged to contemplatetheir organizational competencies, capabilities, and their strategic intent whendrafting social media strategies for open innovation. Selective approaches,along with greater adoption leading to greater benefits, are shown to be morerewarding than a middle way that spreads things too thin. Avenues for furtherresearch include qualitative explorations of the trajectories unfolding throughimplementing social media strategies for innovation activities and the use ofobjective performance measures rather than subjective perceptions from informants to understand the complex relationships between social mediaadoption and performance.},

Making sense of downstream labour risk in global value chains: The case of the Australian cotton industry Journal Article

abstract = {While the efforts by actors on the buyer-side of value chains - such as brands and retai-
lers - to address upstream labour abuses are well documented, there is a lack of research
into how actors on the production-side of value chains - such as raw material producers
- can identify and address downstream labour risks. This research presents the findings of
an action research project that focused on the Australian cotton industry. By applying a
sense-making lens, we propose four properties that can be used to identify labour risk in
global value chains, providing insights into the capacity of producers to address down-
stream labour abuses. We suggest that there is a possibility for a ?book-end' approach
that combines upstream and downstream actions by buyers and producers in global
value chains.},
